Seems like a microwave powerful enough to send up a serious, payload, say one measured in tons rather than grams, might be a serious weapon in its own right.

Kind of along the lines of the laser powered vehicles in "Footfall."

Wonder if microwaves can be used as guidance systems as lasers can. Perhaps they would not be deflected by smoke.

Heh. Was thinking the same thing. And another variation are the laser-powered sails in "The Mote in God's Eye."
